Practice your 3-minute “elevator speech” as you participate in a fast-paced, fun event meant to expose you to the excellent research on campus and inspire you to establish new, productive relationships. Researchers will share their topics in an accelerated fashion with a group of researchers sharing similar interests.

Interested attendees must R.S.V.P. to one of the following events. Seats are limited. Some preparation required—an inquiring mind and willingness to talk to others are a must! R.S.V.P. at ORP Registration Page

﻿Research in Identity, Diversity, and Inclusion

Ideas of Self and Other are fundamental to human societies. Who we believe ourselves to be and not to be shapes our notions of community, our ability to act in the world, as well as our civil, social, biomedical and technological structures. But while modern society propels us to build ever more rapid and complex systems and networks, our notions of self and other are still influenced by tradition, culture, religion, race, sex, sexuality, ethnicity and other deeply-rooted factors. Researchers in this area are interested in the multiple identities are perspectives that exist in a complex modernity and the politics of inclusion and exclusion that accompany them. Some look for practical ways we can bridge the gaps in our differences and ensure that the marginal or underserved receive equal treatment and access. Researchers in this are may come from the humanities, social sciences, education, business, health fields, or science and engineering.
